Dorvalino Alves Maciel (born 1 June 1977), known as Lino, is a Brazilian former footballer who played as a left back.
Born in São Paulo, Lino represented several clubs in his country's Série A. In 2003 he scored five goals for Esporte Clube Bahia, but his team ranked dead last.
In 2006, Lino moved to Portugal, signing for Académica de Coimbra. He only missed one game in his first and only season, but the side only narrowly avoided relegation. He subsequently joined fellow league club FC Porto, appearing rarely during his spell but scoring in a 3âÂÂ1 home win against Fenerbahçe S.K. for the campaign's UEFA Champions League.
In the 2009 January transfer window, Lino signed for PAOK in the Super League Greece. He was selected team MVP in 2013âÂÂ14, surpassing Stefanos Athanasiadis and Miroslav Stoch. PAOK signed him from Porto at age 32. From January 2009 to July 2014 he was first-team regular and left his mark on the club, earning his place as one of the best foreign players to wear a PAOK shirt. He played 220 times, scoring 16 goals, while also contributing 41 assists â making his performances a benchmark for those who followed him.
